The October meeting: What Can I Bring? by Elizabeth Heiskell

From the description: It is usually the first question you ask after receiving an invitation to a gathering or event: "What Can I Bring?" Based on the popular monthly feature in Southern Living magazine, Elizabeth delivers more than 100 delicious recipes that are sure to please a crowd that can all be prepared in advance and travel well.

But let's not forget the most important question: What can I bring to my own table? This is a cookbook that offers answers whether you're looking for some new ideas for dinner or want to make Sunday brunch a more special event. Above all, these delicious dishes can be served straight from the heart, with no stress required.

Tasty Venues will have a limited number of copies available for purchase if you'd like to pick one up when you come for lunch, dinner, tea, or just to shop.

If you are looking for a place for a group to gather, a celebration, or a meeting, Tasty Venues is a great choice. We have been pleased to host women's groups from A Woman's Life Work, Working Women of Tampa Bay, the Red Hat Society, a number of local church groups, and others. We have been delighted to celebrate special birthdays and anniversaries with our guests and have been chosen for showers and pre-wedding events. You're welcome to bring your bridge club, book club, crafts club, study group, or other group that likes to gather and chat in a quiet, lovely space.* We can also cater your event at the location of your choice. Reserve your date now!
